According to the publication, which polled 100 bar professionals around the world, including the lead bartender from the Playboy Club, Esquire drink expert David Wondrich, and a "diamond ice-carver," the best bar in the world is East Village speakeasy PDT.

PDT is probably best known for its secret entrance--through the old-fashioned telephone booth in Crif Dogs, a hot dog joint. It's got an extensive list of well-crafted cocktails, a sexy ambiance and a direct window to the hot dog kitchen next door--what more could you want in a bar?

PDT is also nothing new on the New York nightlife scene, making it a surprising contender for this title.
